The University of Hawaiʻi System is exploring new learning management systems (LMS) to potentially replace .
Laulima is 东精影业’s official online collaboration and learning environment—supporting course materials, testing and communications among other services. All 东精影业 students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in reviewing the three platforms being considered.
A has been formed, and will be facilitated by Gloria Niles, director of online learning for the 东精影业 System.
Three LMS platforms have been selected for review including:
- Blackboard Learn Ultra by Anthology
- Brightspace by D2L
- Canvas by Instructure
All members of the 东精影业 community can participate in the review process in multiple ways by:
- 东精影业ing synchronously via Zoom, or recorded for asynchronous viewing.
- 东精影业ing LMS review offered throughout the month of February.
- Providing feedback through the LMS Consider.it forum, which will open in February.

Since 2007, a version of Sakai, referred to by 东精影业 as Laulima, has been the official LMS supported by 东精影业 Information Technology Services and used across all 10 campuses of the 东精影业 System. Although it has served 东精影业 well, use of Sakai has diminished significantly throughout the last five years. Consequently, fewer developers, publishers and third-party tool vendors are working with that LMS.
There are many advantages for a single LMS platform being used systemwide. Most importantly, students have a familiar experience in the LMS when taking courses on different 东精影业 campuses. Additionally, administration of the LMS and professional development support for faculty, staff and students can be centralized across the 东精影业 System.
